Want to work with your feather stamps and blanks. Thank you for your most generous giveaway and your amazing and informative site.

Hi. I love Beaducation! My favorite original stamp I have purchased and use is the SNEAKER. I wear Chuck's almost exclusively and have quite the collection of them, so this icon represents a bit of myself. I like to put it on the back of some of my favorite pieces.

Thank you for hosting this giveaway!I have been wantong to get into stamping but lacking in funds to start. I love Beaducation and you are my go to for tips and tricks to help my projects looking professional. Keep up the great work!

I would totally L-O-V-E to win this prize! I would love to get into stamping metal pieces more! I think the first piece of jewelry I ever made was a friendship bracelet for my friend back in high school, it was made of brightly colored floss!

This set is so lovely! I haven't had the chance to do any stamping as of yet but I do want to try it badly. The first piece of jewelry I ever made was a wire wrapped bracelet, not the nicest looking thing but I've gotten better!

My first piece I ever made was an adorable bronze choker for my good friend! I immediately fell in love with them!! I am hoping to get some new fonts and restock, so this would be perfect!!! I've also never tried out stamping on copper, so I'm very excited!

The first piece of jewelry I've every made - was a necklace for my mom...probably made out of pasta. :) But really, the first thing I made was a beaded bracelet. And haven't looked back. Thanks so much for the chance!

I recently purchased a few basic tools and blanks to get me started. I must confess i'm addicted to watching the stamping tutorials available on Beaducation.com. There are sooooooo many projects I'm eager to try but still need to pick up some additional tools. Based on the advice from the beginner tutorial it's recommended you practice first so for now it's just practice, practice, practice. I love the fact that stamping isn't just an adult project my girls already have projects of their own in mind. They have been practicing right along with me. Thank you for inspiring our creativity.

My 3 girls ages 10, 12 & 14 are also eager to create projects of their own. Thank you for inspiring our creativity. Addicted to Beaducation tutorials

I just discovered Beaducation and am just getting started back in jewelry-making after a long hiatus. The first piece I made was a seed bead bracelet when I was younger. I would like to try my hand at metalsmithing and stamping now. I am so excited!! This website has already been an excellent resource and I'm so glad I found it! Would love to win this prize!

i just finished watching your video on the new book - congratulations as I am sure it will be wonderful :) I have tried to stamp myself but the stamps were not very good and did not work for long Ugh I will be checking out your site for some new stamps to try ! I would love to win this as it would be a great starting point for me instead of the alphabet ones I bought from harbor freight :(

I absolutely love Beaducation! I started ordering recently and I will continue to order from this site! My blanks were advertised just as they came. They were so perfect and have been a huge hit. My customers love them just as much as myself. My favorite stamp is the large camper! I have made multiple necklaces with the saying " Home is where you park it"! They have been totally successful. Beautiful pieces for my beautiful work. Thank you Beaducation!

I made my first purchase a couple of weeks ago and I will continue to order from beaducation! The blanks that I purchased where advertised just as they came. The prices are low and the product is great! I am so satisfied with my purchase and so are my customers. I have recommended many people to beaducation. My favorite purchse was the large camper stamp. I have used the saying "Home is where you park it", and believe me... It has been a hit! I am so excited that I finally found a cite so affordable and convenient.

I'm just getting started and am so excited to start stamping. I grew up with my father owning a jewelry store and have found that making jewelry is now my passion. Thank you for all of your help and education - you all are invaluable to folks like me! Thanks! Alison Kaytes xoxoxo

My first jewelry project was a wrap bracelet a few years back. My daughter was making jewelry and I needed a new hobby. Now I have taught myself so many new techniques, from wire wrapping, hammering metals, learning to solder and now venturing into polymer clays. This would just add to my repetoire of jewelry skills. I have almost all the tools except these. I would love to win this kit and get busy making some new jewelry.

The first piece of jewelry I made was a necklace to match a bracelet I purchased. I still have it......somewhere! lol I'm just starting with stamped jewelry and love the "To go paper coffee cup". Oh so many possibilities. Thank you for this awesome giveaway.Patricia B

The first piece of jewelry I made was a leaf shaped pendant with a bird on a branch sawn out of the center of it. It totally made me realize what was possible and I love it! :)Thanks for being so generous in your giveaways! <3

The first piece of stamped metal jewelry wasn't really a piece of jewelry but a silly keychain I slipped on my brother's keys and waited for him to notice. (It just said "derp" but he says it a LOT) I had picked up the Stamped Metal Jewelry ebook on Amazon and got about 5000 ideas! I've followed this blog ever since.

Your original stamps are so fun and inticing! My favorite letter set is Kismet and my favorite symbol is the coffee cup... it represents one of life's 'simplest pleasures'! My favorite project that I want to make for all my daughters is the leafy medallion with their Initial lettered in the middle. Striking!!

I love the metal stamping, I have wanted to start making my own for quite some time now. I always come to Beaducation and look through all the amazing things that can be made. There are so many free DIY ideas that I come to look at and fall in love with. One day I will get started I just need to take the plunge and try it out.

The first piece I made was with my grandfather when I was about 12 yrs old. He taught me how to shape my first stone on the lapidary wheels and set it in a Sterling silver step bezel. I still treasure that ring.

I haven't tried stamping yet, but am really excited to give it a try! The first piece of jewelry I made was a necklace using Swarovski crystals for my then boyfriends daughter. Oh and before I forget you guys have the best tutorials!!!!

When I ordered from Beaducation, I was surprised at how quickly my order arrived! My beady beginnings go back into the mists of time, but I do remember making daisy chain necklaces with seed beads and sewing thread in high school!

Love your tutorials on chain maille! Boosted my business learning how to do it because men love it too! First piece of jewelry was a beaded headband back in the 70's when I was a kid. Had a loom, seed beads and directions in a kit. Loved making things then and still do! I'd love to have this kit to add something new. I always wanted to try stamping.

My current favorite Beaducation metal stamp which I own is the one I special ordered recently which was my state stamp (Alaska). I'm not sure if it's an original or not. The stamp I had wanted which was out of stock was the original art deco stamp. I'm enamored with all the art deco swirly stamps!

Just found your site and am starting my home jewelry bus. this monthMy first piece was My Boot Buddy for Granddaughter this last Christmas Hoped to start stamping soon as outlay for tools is not in budgettil laterLove you siteBarb Edstrom

Wow! What a generous giveaway! Thanks for the chance. Hard to pick just one beaducation original stamp. I'm drawn to the triple chevron and the other geometric stamps. I also love the hearts. Thanks for sharing your talents and inspiration!

I found this site last week and immediately fell in love with the atmosphere. My first jewelry project was a pair of earrings. The loops were crooked and I hadn't quite gotten the hang of wrapping the wire properly, but I wore them proudly, telling everyone, "Look! I made these!" Not everyone was impressed, but it did not matter to me. :-D

The first piece of jewelry I made was anklet. Have made and sold over 1000 of them to date! Have moved on to bracelets and earrings and recently bought Lisa's book to delve into some stamping. Just love the book and her style of teaching. I have also taken her Craftsy class which I review from time to time...great class. Would luv to win this!

My first piece of jewelry made was a little pendant with my newborn son's name and the little baby feet stamp. I've been obsessed ever since! I REALLY appreciate all the tutorial videos that have helped me learn different techniques.

Oh my gosh! I am super excited about this giveaway! I can't pick just one stamp because I love the all, but the first piece of jewelry I made was a necklace for my niece on her 8th birthday and she absolutely loved it!

How exciting, l LOVE Beaducation. My first adornments, don't know if l would call it jewelry, was making dandelion chain circlets for myself any friends who would sit still for a minute, the cat, dog...Really. Then l made lots of necklaces and earrings with beads and findings back in high school. I was so lucky! I got to go in this one store, take home boxes of beads and findings, and they would pay me for everything l made! And it never cost me a penny for supplies. A great job.Then l made lots of jewelry with beads and shells and the like, graduated to lost wax casting, then to fabrication. I am learning tons from your videos, thank you so much for what you do. Loving learning stamping, riveting, everything! 😂

First piece of jewelry I ever made had to have been a dandelion crown when I was very young. First lasting piece of jewelry was a clunky necklace with wire crochet, tiny beads and seaglass. Still like the idea, but need to work on the execution. Now that I have some actual skills, and tools, I will give it a go!

The first piece of jewelry I ever made was a pair of chandelier earring in a class I took shortly after I moved to Los Angeles. I love making jewelry and have made many pretty pieces since then, most of which I gave away as gifts. I am interested in learning to work with metals and would love to be this week's winner.

The first piece of jewelry I made was a crocheted button bracelet. I was 12 and my grandma taught me. Later that summer, she taught me embroidery using a single strand of floss on waxed paper. She lived through the depression and was always very frugal. I have embroidered flour sack towels she made that I cherish.

As I'm sure most of us have, I started off with beading. A friend and took a Cold Connection class at the Tucson Gem Show in 2012. It was that moment that I fell in love with working with metal. Stamping and texturizing... watching the metal move.... ah... I'm in heaven!! ❤️

I don't craft jewelry per se, but I came across your site when looking for stamping blanks to adorn purses I sew. Of course my favorite beaducation stamps would have to be the Melody Uppercase & Lowercase Letter Sets!

Technically, the first piece of jewelry I ever made was a macaroni necklace painted with fingerpaints in Kindergarten. The jewelry bug never left once I caught it. As I learned how to crochet, I would make bracelets and necklaces with that, then came what we called a "french spool" that make a cord. Next I learned about weaving embroidery floss into friendship bracelets. Now I make chain maille and dichroic and fused glass jewelry. I love making beautiful things, and I love seeing people enjoy the pieces I've made.

Beaducation has been my go to for supplies for some now now. I am obsessed with soldering and hand stamping!! My first piece of jewelry I ever made, over 12 years ago, was a hand knotted necklace I still wear to this day! Thank you for this amazing chance to win! �� Melanie

What a great giveaway! I love your site and I'm always going to it for inspiration and education. My first piece of jewelry was a bracelet. I love bracelets. Would love to learn how to stamp. Thanks for the chance.

I love shopping at Beaducation! So many wonderful and unique options. The videos are fun to watch and so helpful with detailed information. The first stamped piece I made was for a necklace. I had ordered a stamped necklace with the names of my children on it, and wasn't happy with what arrived, or the replacement piece that was sent (not as pictured). I thought, "I wonder if I could do it myself?!" And there began my journey. It's been a lot of fun, and I'm so thankful to have a hobby that pretty much pays for itself!

I love your website! Your how to videos are so easy to follow and very informative. My favorite is the Spiro Pendant necklace. I have made and sold several using different color Swarovski stones. I've tried stamping and would really,realy love to win this week's Stamped Metal Jewelry books and Stamping on Metal Starter Kit! I'm sure it would help and guide me to stamp better!

Thanks for your awesome website and opportunity to win! The first piece of jewelry that got me started with metal stamping was actually name tags for our church's women's ministry. I stamped names on large aluminum blanks and riveted a copper butterfly to each one. Then I attached a magnetic clasp to the back. All the women loved them!

I have been making jewelry for a year now & I am loving it and want to start doing some Stamping on Metal. My FIRST piece of Jewelry was a Tree of Life Pendent that I made for my Sister's birthday last April. I made it from scratch. I wire weaved the pendent & bail using 18 & 24 gauge wire and then added Gem Chips of Peridot and Apitite on 26 gauge wire to make the tree. the size is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wish I knew how to add a photo of it

I love designing Jewelry! I took a 2 year break and getting the itch to go back to designing Jewelry . I am on medical leave from work so I have a lot of time on my hands. Not only is making Jewelry my PASSION, it will provide therapy for me. While I on a very limited income I surf your website for things I would buy. Winning this would make me very happy ��

My first piece of jewelry was an alcohol ink domino pendant. I've since taken metalsmithing classes and online Craftsy courses (loved your Wirework Findings class!!) and learned enameling. So many techniques to try!

The first piece of jewelry I made was a stamped pendant with the lower case kismet stamp set. Both the stamped pendant in its blank 19mm round form and the kismet star set were from beaducation <3<3<3 I have been in love with stamping metal since then!! Thank you beaducation!

I Love learning new things, the first jewelry I made was a wire work toggle clasp that I learned to make from Lisa when I took her Craftsy class wire work findings. I wanted to learn to make my own findings for my projects. Then I followed her on Beaducation. I have really wanted to learn to stamp but have not had the opportunity to purchase them yet. Love the design stamps here. Would love to win this so I could get a start on Stamping it looks so fun!

I love your site, your Beaducation Originals, your videos, ideas, everything! My favorite Beaducation Original is the kismet letter set, I don't have it yet, but hope to someday. Thank you Lisa for the opportunity to win these fabulous prizes! {fingers crossed}

Wow what fantastic prizes! I bought some items to begin stamping on rectangle blanks. For Christmas I made necklaces for the women I babysat for and my daughters. I stamped the children's names on them and made necklaces. Everyone loved them! I love your site and get a lot of inspiration and your tutorial and classes are so appreciatived. My next adventure in stamping will be to make bracelets !

I wish I could say that my first project went smoothly, but it has taken a lot of practice. My first successful project was a necklace with my grandson's name on it and I adore it. Stamping is the easiest way to personalize a gift for loved ones.

Beaducation taught me everything I know about making jewelry. The first piece I made was a stamped copper cuff for my best friend. Now I am teaching my students to make jewelry so we can incorporate math into our fun!

Love you SITE! My first piece of jewelry was a wire sculpted pendant made with a flat stone and sterling silver wire. The best advice ever received was from the wire artist who sold me the wire: "It's not great but it's not bad someone will love it let them buy your work so you can afford to keep making and you will get better." Now 50 years later my work has allowed me to make a comfortable living.

Hi! I love Beaducation!! To be honest I haven't bought much from you guys but I plan on purchasing from you soon! I love your video lessons so much! I am currently learning how to rivet!! My very very first price of jewelry was a very ugly metal wire and bead bracelet that I made at my homeschool co-op. BTW stamping is one of my favorite things to do!

Wow! What a wonderful prize you have put together! I have to say that your "paw" print stamp would have to be my absolute favorite if I had to choose. They are all wonderful. And your web-site is the best. Thank you for having such wonderful tutorials! Jenn

First of all...thanks so much for offering a giveaway, and for having such an informational website! My very first jewelry making endeavor was snipping sewing pins and making earrings...I must have been around 12 and had gotten my ears pierced!

Thanks for the chance to win! My first jewelry project was a bead-in-beadframe necklace using hematite and goldstone, on Soft-flex wire, and crimped. And looking back, it was awfully finished :( ... thankfully, I've improved, as have my pieces, thanks to videos and tutorials offered on your page !

My first piece of jewelry was many many moons ago and I can't remember what it was. However, since I've gotten serious about jewelry, I'd say my first piece since the reboot was a bracelet with wire wrapped components. Thanks for having this giveaway!

I love your products, but till now have been intimidated by working with metal, but this package would definitely put an end to that. there are a few pictures on the cover of the 2 books that I already want to do!!!

The first piece of jewelry I made was a ring. I love the information I have received in making jewelry. I would also enjoy this prize because it would give me all the tools and equipment to start stamping.

I love your site and have learned so much from it. I've only started on this jewelry adventure about 3 months ago and I love it. Would love to try my hand at stamping. My first piece of jewelry was a bracelet. I love bracelets. Thanks for the chance to win this stamping kit.

Oh My Goodness, just saw this.... I would LOVE to win the Stamping Kit... I am kinda new to stamping... I have learn some riveting and have made a pin in a class... Thank you for offering a Give a way....

I would LOVE to win the stamping starter kit! I'm very new to stamping, but I can easily answer that my favorite Beaducation original stamp original stamp is the Little Camper - so adorable! It just exudes a feeling of coziness!

My daughter and I are looking forward to starting stamping when her school semester is over. She is graduating high school and wants to start an Etsy and will finally have time. It would be wonderful to win the giveaway. We have watched several of your videos and can't wait. One of the favorite stamps is the camper stamps and also the Mandala stamps; I'm not sure if there is one stamp in particular since we're looking forward to creating using various stamps. This is a lot of fun and we both can do this together. Thank you.

I enjoy teaching myself new jewelry techniques. As a child I did bead loom weaving and made bracelets. My focus now is metal jewelry and I have learned many techniques from Stamped Metal Jewelry and I am looking forward to the 2nd book.

All I can say is - Thank You Lisa Niven Kelly for creating this wonderful site! I actually stumbled upon this website by accident in 2008. Clearly I love it, as I am still hanging out here :-) I must say that your instructional videos really helped me build a solid jewelry making foundation. Since then, I have taken online videos with other instructors too. But it was you, who helped me build on my jewelry making techniques. My very first piece of jewelry was a simple bracelet & necklace I made in 2008 after watching your instructional video on "Basic Loops". Since then, I have taken your classes on Beaducation, and even on Craftsy. I love your style of instruction, and the attention to detail!!!

Hi! I've just turned 40, have 4 kids, teach school, and am trying to discover a new hobby that is not only fun, but could be a blessing to others as well. Looks like metal stamping ties in my love of word affirmations and creativity! I've recently discovered your site and love it. Thank you so much for the learning videos, helpful tips, etc.. looking forward to a new pastime. :). Blessings to all!

The very first piece of jewelry I ever made was a shell necklace using some shells I found on a beach visit and some string from my grandma's stash of craft supplies. I was very proud. The first piece of jewelry I made to sell was a pair of earrings using pearl and crystal for a collection inspired by my Kauai beach wedding. Looks like the beach is a theme in my work!

the first pieces of jewelry I made were wire rings made from telephone wire. I found a hunk of telephone cable when I was about 10 yrs old, opened it up, inside were about 20 different plastic coated multicolored wires. I wove them into rings and finished the wire ends into swirled circles. sold them at school for $1 apiece!

My favourite Beaducation original stamp is the robot! I've put him in all sorts of landscapes - on earth, on a moonscape and in outer space - and he always gets a chuckle. I love Beaducation's tutorials. They've helped me develop confidence in myself so I can try new things. I'd love to win this prize just so I can continue to develop my skills. Thank you, Lisa and The Gang!

Thank you for the opportunity to enter this giveaway! The Beaducation Original stamp I currently have my eye on is the Pet Paw Print stamp. After having a couple of little ones pass when their time came, they're ones I hold close to my heart. Paw prints are one way to remind me of them.

I am so excited that I won week 1 .Thank you Beaducation ! This is like Christmas and I love that the stamps are 1/8 I needed tiny stamps .The books OMGOSH!and everything else ...MANY THANKS ,Sue Hunter
